I’m a writer and editor who appreciates the Oxford comma, understands research, and can help translate your data into plain language for diverse audiences. I have extensive experience clearly communicating and explaining complex information through a wide array of mediums including email, press releases, social media, promotional materials, guidelines, instructional materials, data visualizations, manuscripts, reports, and presentations. My sociology background also provides an understanding of various systemic social inequities and gives me the sensitivity needed to avoid bias and enhance inclusivity in my writing and in the projects that I edit.
